The US-Israeli bombardment has begun: there are bodies beneath the rubble. The Ayatollah is dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guards have abandoned the prisons. The rain is black with fuel; it burns the skin and the streets. In this searing and contemplative work, writer, academic and Tehran resident Raha Nik-Andish documents life in the Islamic Republic in the days and months leading up to \"Operation Epic Fury.\" In a rarely-seen portrait of a regime in freefall, this is Tehran on the brink; the crushed protests over the collapse of the currency; the taxicabs circling the city for work; the burned out garbage cans and the taped-up windows. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does it mean to exist under siege?
